Karl Rove, Pt.2
July 22nd, 2005> Plame was an undercover agent of the CIA. She and her team where
> assigned to detect and foil terrorists and rogue nations trying to
> obtain nuclear weapons by infiltrating organizations (in the documents
> obtained from the Times it would appear Karl Rove was fully aware what
> she was doing, as he specifically revealed her connection to CIA work
> regarding “WMD”).
>
> However her husband Wilson had been sent by the White House to Africa
> in order to investigate claims that Iraq was trying to obtain uranium
> though Nigeria. His investigation reported that the claims where false
> and that the documents that suggested it where obvious forgeries.
> However Bush went ahead and used the “yellowcake” claim in his State
> of the Union address to convince Congress to let him send young
> Americans into harms way in what is the Iraq war.
>
> In response to the White House lying to Congress and the American
> people, Wilson went public with his information. As the facts where on
> Wilson’s side, the White House went for character assassination
> instead, ultimately leading to Rove, during time of war, giving aid
> and confort to the terrorists that threaten America by exposing his
> wife as a CIA agent as political payback.
>
> The result was that Plame, along with the rest of her team, had to
> immediately pull out to avoid being killed by any of the groups they
> where investigating, destroying years of work in preventing WMD from
> falling into the hands of terrorists, and making it impossible for her
> or any agent she was in contact with from working undercover again.
>
> When the investigation started the White House rejected claims that
> Rove was the leak as ridiculous and made grand promises to fire anyone
> caught leaking such information. Now that Rove has been caught the
> White House response has become that they won’t talk about an active
> investigation, like the one that where so happy to talk about when
> there wasn’t enough evidence to convict Rove.
